backup and restore of zarafa

dear all,

I have zarafa server 7.1.2community version installed via zadmin and have used zadmin to setup my mail server
i am using local ldap and have used zadmin web interface to create users
now in zadmin web interface i have configured the zarafa backup option

now I see that the directories have been create example in the directory path specified but they are empty

As i said before in the above post i have zarafa server . i have managed to backup all users mail using my sql backup but i need to backup ldap since all users names, passwords and other details in ldap
i was googling arround but no much luck

i tried the below

but when i go to zadmin console or zarafaadmin -L does not show me any users
i guess probably the ldap database is not added to zarafa or zarafa not aware of the ldap

unfortunately the z-admin developers are no longer around. The first section you showed looks like it was supposed to be for the output of zarafa-backup, which is not included in the community edition. From the old manuals () there seems to be a "configuration backup" option, but to me its not really clear if this should include users from ldap.

But in any way your linked script should be sufficient to backup and restore an ldap tree, so I'm wondering what kind of error you get.

really appreciate your wise reply thank you so much.
as in first section your r absolutely right and after checking the logs i see that no license available message so one needs a commercial edition of zarafa

I will redo the excersie of the link once again from scratch and will let you know

I did a fresh installation and jus to be careful copied the /var/lib/ldap* from the working server to my fresh install server and also /etc/ldap*
stoped ldap , changed the permisons and restated . no errors but when i say zarafa-admin -l no users are seen also in yaffas zadmin web interface no users seen but if I run slapcat on my fresh new installed server i see all the users.

here is my config

working server is centos 5.8 64 bit with zarafa installed via yum using the docs
